BATON ROUGE, LA - Louisiana Attorney
General Jeff Landry is leading a multi-state coalition in a letter to
Congressional leadership in support of Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE).Over the past few months, ICE has endured calls for its abolishment
though the breadth and depth of the agency's efforts are critical to public
safety. State Attorneys General heavily rely on the Department of Homeland
Security Investigations (HSI), which ICE is under, for their assistance in
investigating criminal trafficking and financial operations involving foreign
entities. General Landry's office also works with HSI on every cyber
crime arrest of child predators throughout the State.

"ICE provides critical support and conducts
important law enforcement activities that preserve the safety of our
communities," said General Landry. "An abolition of ICE would be
debilitating in efforts to preserve the rule of law and protect America's
citizens."

"The 'abolish ICE' movement is nothing more than a
political stunt brought on by those who place politics above public
safety," added General Landry. "It is unfortunate that many Democrats
have endorsed this dangerous movement."Louisiana was joined in this letter by AG's
from Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan,
Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota,
Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, and West Virginia.
